Challenges

Meta needed storage that could handle petabytes of data while delivering the performance demanded by the supercomputer. The storage also needed to have a very low power profile so that Meta could invest more power into the GPUs which speed up AI models.

Results

Business Transformation

Supports next-generation AI research trained on petabytes of data
Unifies data delivery to scale across even the most data-intensive jobs
Helps Meta learn how to deliver more content that people want to see

IT Transformation

Designed and built a first-of-its-kind AI research cluster in less than two years
Reliable flash performance requires less maintenance than disk storage, reducing overall operational costs
Low power consumption allows Meta to direct more power to GPUs, improving overall performance

“We contacted a number of storage vendors of both disk and flash to evaluate their highest performance, highest density offerings. From a combination of performance and power and cost, we ended up selecting Pure Storage.”
